FoO presents the Calendar's first offical, and rather silly, awards ceremony. It is now over, but I'll leave this here so you can chack out the winners if you missed it. Go on, have a look'see...

WARNING: Exam Season, RPGs may move slowly.

WhatistheCalendar?Howdoesitwork?

The Calendar is basically a floodgate. It is here to stop tirades of RPG's flooding the forum, then dieing, then there being a period where no RPG's exist.

To this end the calendar exists. When you come up with an RPG idea you submit it, then when enough have said that they're interested you go on the waiting list until there is a slot and then the RPG can begin!

HowdoIsubmitmyRPG?

To submit an RPG to the community fill in this simple form

RPG Name: (The title of your RPG)Moderator: (Your forum name)Plot: (The plot for your RPG, this could be your title crawl)Character/Faction Based: (Just put down character, faction or either if you haven't decided)Number of people interested: (I'll fill this in as we go along. This field will be deleted when your RPG has reached 5 people)

Arethereanyrules?

Yes, these rules are not subject to change, but most are common sense anyway

-If you have a problem contact me, my email is friend_of_old@hotmail.co.uk

-To make things easier to run here I have introduced a colour coding system for important postsType RPG Idea... in Bold Red if you are submitting an ideaType Interested in... in Bold Lime if you are interested in an ideaType Update for... in Bold Orange if you want me to update something on the main postType Probation for... in Bold Yellow if you want me to put someone on the probation list (I will ask for reasons)

Howmany...

Yes there are limits to things:

-There will only be 5 RPG's at a time

-You need 5 people to be interested in your RPG for it to go forward

-You can have up to 3 RPG ideas at a time

-You can moderate 1 RPG at a time

RPG Name: A New Empire Part 2Moderator: GorogPlot:

Two years have passed since the Battle of Endor. Imperial commanders and Moffs break away from High Command on Coruscant, while the remaining loyalists struggle to keep the forces of the Alliance of Free Planets at bay. However, while having a wide base of support, the former Rebellion lacks the military resources to take Coruscant.

In a surprise move, Alliance and Imperial leaders meet on the planet ITHOR. Drawing up a peace treaty, the delegates decide on a new government, transforming the Empire into a constitutional monarchy with the reinstatement of the IMPERIAL SENATE, led by a President appointed by the figurehead Emperor who has been elected by the Grand Moffs. MON MOTHMA is soon appointed to the post of President of the Imperial Senate.

However, some former Rebels refuse to recognize the Treaty of Ithor, and accuse Mon Mothma of having sold out the ideals of the Rebellion to assume control of the galaxy. These Rebels maintain arms in order to establish a true Republic. Similarly, some Imperial worlds denounce what they call a false Empire, and instead aid the Imperial warlords. As the new Empire and its Senate try to establish authority, the Galactic Civil War enters a new phase, manipulated by shadowy individuals with their own agenda...

Character/Faction Based: Character

RPG Name: Age of the WarlordsModerator: FoOPlot:

[c]After the disasterous failure of Palpatine's attempted formation of a unified Galactic Empire the Republic collapsed and the galaxy fell into ten years of darkness. Now three factions, the Thyferran Alliance, the Grand Directorate and the Azure Imperium have arisen and vy for control of the core worlds, using battered fleets with ancient clone wars ships and cheap cruisers, a shadow of the galaxy's former glory.

Over all of this the Church of Truth holds sway, binding the planets of the galaxy under its vicious doctorine. However one team of Directorate scientists on Kuat dare to defy them. In an attempt to create the ultimate weapon they unleash the ultimate sin, they unleash the Force.

Character/Faction Based: Character, with mnior fleet details

Moderators

I've decided to add this section so that people can see at a glance if their favourite moderators or friends are planning an RPG at a glance, or if they're on the probation list. Thus I'm assigning everyone a colour, if you'd prefer a different colour don't hesitate to ask.

ProbationList

This is where a list of people and their crimes are put. If you are on this list it means something you have done has been deemed counter-productive to an RPG or the RPG community. Being on this list does not stop you creating RPG's through the calendar or playing in them. It is here to warn people of what you have done, so that if they don't want to run the risk of you messing something up half-way through.

Crimes include things like godmodding, flaming, spamming, quitting for no valid reason, etc. Basically anything that harms an RPG.

Darth Kiev: For abandoning ANE without reason, causing death of the RPG.

What do you think?

Star Wars Universe

The clue is in the title. If you want to do a Red Faction campaign, go to MEC, or a Red Faction forum.

Actuallt the offical ruling is that we don't deal with non-SW RPGs here, as the calendar only really applies to SWU. However, being such a tolerant (i.e. lazy) moderator I don't really mind.

I'm all for enforcing this rule by usurping the current moderator (Lord FoOby the Epic) and taking control myself.

What is it?

A Star Wars roleplaying site owned and moderated by none other than Cray, Moff, Zara, and a friend of theirs. A bunch of HG'ers have already joined over the years, including Lazer, Kyp, Delta, etc.

I'd consider joining it. Just so long as I don't have to deal with Kyp.

He's on the site, but he only has a couple of characters. You don't have to roleplay with him. Why?

Every RPG I have taken part in that had him in it was a less than pleasurable experience. I jump for joy one time he stormed off complaining about too much OOC.

Perhaps the short version of that explanation would be, I don't like him

I'll be happy when SWU comes back to life.

Yeah yeah, I'm workin on it

If you haven't looked at the site, it's rather large. And the RPG itself is huge and features dozens of characters, with over a dozen different threads all within the same game. So even if you join, there's more than a fair chance that you'll never have to roleplay with him (Not that I'm saying he's bad or anything). Like I said, it's hosted by Cray, Moff, Zara and their friend Han, and we always welcome new arrivals.

So what do you say? Interested?

If I weren't I wouldn't be asking about it

The fact that I don't get to use the full awesomeness of my good friend Alister Mako kinda irks me though, but fortunately I have one rather crazy character that I think was rather popular in our latest RPG

I don't see any reason why you can't use Mako. Unless you're talking about Executors. I'm sure the True Empire has about half a dozen, but the Remnant probably only has one or two right now. Zend's Empire could use more members. And you can still have five characters.

Yes I want my Executor (and my rank), but wouldn't you?

Also, Alister is very particular. Which faction follows Palpatine's Empire the most? If the answer is none of them...I could have some fun with that too

I'm confused with the whole premise of the RPG. According to the "opening" post the galaxy has one government, yet the forums state there is a New Republic and Remnant, the background states the Rebellion is still ongoing, and you state that there are several Imperial factions. If I had the time, I'd join as Ariadne Azorah, but then again, if I had the time I'd be doing ANE my way.

Oh come on. Even you have to admit the introduction of the Vong would be a little premature and could possibly kill the plot we all had going

Who said I planned on introducing the Vong anytime soon? And if I did plan on including the Vong later on, the surprise is now out of the box...
